creditcardnow adays have debit cards,
creditcard is for poorman living on fastlane.
cash is king.
Debit cards tend to charge a fee for each transaction abroad so it can cost more than a CC.

Depends. The one I use charges bank rates when making purchases in foreign currencies so it has its benefits. I have a direct debit set up to pay the full balance each month so I don't pay interest either.

Not where I move around.normally when I shop, they ask cash or cc.
If cash card ie debitcard 2% discount.
creditc the U.Price.
Karen calls it the upper price.
Always wondered why sg girls go for men with the 5 c's

the sales people mindset these days,
bot a computer set on sunday, treated me like some begger, asking for this dicount and that discount.
When I paid for the thing, suddenly the attitude took a 180turn. I guess thats what you get dressed down in flip flops and bargaining.
Went looking around the giant LCD HD TVs , asked for price, and was given the, "I don't think you can afford it look." until , i turned and asked karen, "I think its smaller than ours ,right?"

7% GST is a bargain. VAT is at 17.5% in most of the EU with the UK bringing it down 15% recently.
May be this way , the revolution may be postponed a little, until the people realises the maths.

I do remember reading that, when taxation went to the 25% zones, normally you have a revolution onhand. Seems nearly there, huh? If you added both the direct and indrect taxes, I think we are exceeding.

It seems to be the less affluent who are most affected. Tax avoidence schemes are popular for those in the know, which plays an important role in this financial crisis. So your lesson of giving back seems to be missed or unknown by many.

An excerpt from the earlier pages...
"About trends, don't think, ask her.
if she don't tell you, wait
be patient, it will show, it's not that she won't tell you.
She hints and hints , but if you don't get it
when she gets angry, she'll tell you straight, if you can catch it fine.
sometimes she don't wanna dance, she may jjust want a fling her and there,so wait.
otherwise, there are many fishes in the sea."
in the meantime.....anybody has her phone number ?
